The Dirty Duchess

The Duchess of Argyle has been open for a year, but it’s undergoing a facelift as part of a new era for the Kained Holdings pub. The place will be a pop up space for East Kilbride-based company Badaboom, and a ‘completely new bar’ is what’s promised - not to mention food from Babu Bombay Street Kitchen, a long-established favourite in Glasgow. Enter the new and improved Duchess …

Toni’s has been open for a while, but the basement expansion is new - as is the concept for the menu downstairs. All the dishes are designed for more than one person, promoting pizza tearing and sharing between friends. We’re talking 20 inch pizzas and huge pots of pasta too, so you won’t go hungry.

Vapiano

Another European chain has set its sights firmly on Glasgow, and we’re willing to give it a go. The German Italian restaurant opening in Edinburgh last year and is now in the process of sprucing up the old HMV at the top of Buchanan Street. An opening date is imminent, and we can’t wait to see how they use the sizeable space …

With veganism gaining pace in Glasgow, it’s no surprise that an all-vegan takeaway is setting up shop. The North Glasgow-based company will offer home delivery across the city centre and west end, with food made from scratch in house, catering especially for plant-based diet. It’s from the team behind VeGin events, so you know it’s going to be good. Hangovers will never be the same again, non-meat eaters …

The long-derelict Ketchup site in the heart of Shawlands is finally getting a new lease of life - and it looks a belter. Phillies is the name of the new pub taking over, and word on the street is it’s from the same team as Redmond’s over in Dennistoun - a traditional boozer with an upmarket food menu. We’re sold.

We’re very excited about this one. Just saying. Street food favourites Chompsky have long delighted Glasgow with their take on world cuisine, much of it from the back of a van. But with new premises on the horizon over in the southside, it looks like Chompsky are moving on to bigger and better things. Extra points for the name (we’ll let you figure it out).

Nonya

The Scullery is long gone, but there are exciting things going on in the restaurant nestled between Finnieston and Anderston. Nonya looks set to be an Asian fusion spot with standout curry dishes and a few unexpected twists (crunchy deep fried anchovies?). The place is being launched by the team behind Bloc, a long-standing city centre favourite - and that kind of pedigree provides us with plenty of hope for Nonya.

The Ivy

It’s the biggie - and with planning permission granted, The Ivy is that bit closer to opening in Glasgow. The original London restaurant is a world-famous celebrity haunt, and the Edinburgh branch opened to big hurrahs late last year. Here, it should mean a Scottish twist on the classic menu and a stunning location on Buchanan Street. Roll out the red carpet …
